seatbelt laws!!!!

[TillieTrotter]

Come Asset, you dont ever do anything that puts your life at risk even slightly.

Consider me belted up *Bob* (just not in the car always):-S

I think wearing seatbelts are necessary and they do save lives, however being issued with a ticket seems petty when kids are out there being mugged, and people are robbed and seriously injured on trains and buses daily. I would like to see more resources and manpower concentrated on more serious offences.

[KalamityKel]

and let the minor offences be ignored? deary me... everyone knows once you start small...

Really it's simple... you break the law and are caught accept the consequences instead of moaning about it :)) go on BE A MAN! :p

Gerry, you've been unlucky to get a fine. I've had a few taps on the shoulder but never been issued with a ticket. Has this experience changed your future seat belt wearing practice?

Atila, isn't this just another example of the nanny state?

[*Bob*]

Indeed, Lozzy.. surely the seat belt law is The Daddy of all modern nanny state laws? A law which is enforced for your own good but has little impact (boom boom) on others if you choose to break it and suffer the consequences*?

*Apart from the weeping relatives and cost of being fed through a tube for forty years, of course.

Perhaps it is, but I agree with it for all the reasons previously given by various forumites.

This freaked me out, posted by a friend on facebook very recently.

Front left is Dan who complained about nanny state laws, and he really stuck it to the man didn't he.

This was taken about 3 months before he graduated and died, what a waste and if his death can mean anything, then for gods sake learn from his self defeating logic.

There's nothing to be gained from not wearing a seatbelt that doesn't involve cutting your life off to spite your face.
